When will Paris Hilton be taking the stand in the film promo case?
MIAMI – Paris Hilton repeatedly fussed with her hair and makeup in a federal courtroom Friday, sported six-inch stiletto heels and a black dress and amused the judge with a little wave on the way to the witness stand.

They say she refused interviews and other promotional opportunities. Hilton contends she plugged the movie extensively and met the contract’s requirements. She says the producers made unreasonable demands for appearances when her schedule was full. Sources: http://www.google.
